reef aquarium

A reef aquarium is a specialized tank designed to mimic the natural environment of coral reefs, housing marine life such as corals, fish, invertebrates, and other organisms. Unlike standard fish tanks, reef aquariums require precise conditions, including stable water temperature, salinity, and lighting, to support delicate corals and vibrant ecosystems. Aquarists add live rock, which provides habitat and filtration, and often use advanced equipment like protein skimmers and water pumps. Maintaining a reef aquarium demands knowledge and dedication, but it can create a stunning, self-sustaining underwater world that showcases the beauty of ocean life.
